Why did everything have to end like this? Im sad for the girls,

Usurper.

>>157544442
The alternative is they go back to being dead and Kyubey continues to try and capture the LoC until he succeeds.

>>157544518
Death to her.

Kill the goddamned Incubators off already.

Mami says hi. She will defeat Homura in combat and force a compromise to be struck.

>>157544717
Law of Cycles. Meguca's God Form as a concept, rather than a personification like Goddess Madoka is.

>>157544761
Indeed.
It's not like she had much of a choice. Everything would have ended in suffering anyway.
So why not make it a bit more bittersweet? At least they're "free" to an extent and Homura has what she wants.

>>157544801
>She will defeat Homura in combat and force a compromise to be struck
How do you even mediate this?

>Madoka, I'm worthless. Only your happiness matters.

>>157545180
Madoka literally gave up her life to give all Magical Girls, ever, a Heaven. Homura ripped Madoka back down to Earth, and brought, as far as we know, only the ones she personally knew back to life. All dead Meguca are trapped in Heaven, with a Lucifer standin overthrowing and ripping their goddess who saved them from the Heavens above.

Madoka wins this, Homura is in the wrong, even if she may or may not have meant well.

>>157545393
>implying lucifer did anything wrong
You done fucked up now, anon.

HOMURA IS SHIT AND RUINED EVERYTHING.

>>157545393
It's not their fault their goddess had someone as obsessed with her as Homura is to the point where she'd tear the universe apart to make things 'right'.

>>157545393
well maybe if the meguca in heaven took the time to realize that their goddess wasn't happy in heaven then we wouldn't be in this mess, would we? Homura is the only person in the universe that values Madoka's happiness

>>157545224
Mami is the strongest, of course she's relevant

>>157546279
There's zero evidence Madoka wasn't happy in her role as Goddess. Homura was the only one torn up over it, because she couldn't forget or let go.

>>157546358

In Episode 12, when Madoka tells Homura that she'll be erased from existence, Homura exclaims that such a fate would be worse than death, and Madoka's only answer is "yeah I guess it will be, but let's stay positive!"

In Rebellion, Madoka tells Homura that the conditions of being the LoC sound like shit.

Madoka's character song reveals that she's desperately lonely as the LoC and misses her mortal life on Earth.

is there going to be a 4th movie and if so will it be as bad as the 3rd one

>>157546866
It was more then that. She saw one of her protégé become the very thing they were fighting against. Mami never knew what the final fate of Meguca was, and to have it revealed in that way snapped her like a twig. Honestly none of the others would have done any better, they're all fucked up to a greater or lesser degree.

>>157546988
>Honestly none of the others would have done any better
Madoka and Homura and Kyoko didn't snap like Mami did

>>157546866
So you're saying that with an emotionally supportive significant other, Mami would be invincible?

>>157547123
>So you're saying that with an emotionally supportive significant other, Mami would be invincible?
I think that's basically true of most of them.

>>157546988
Not really. Only Sayaka crumbled. The rest were fine.
>>157547123
She hates herself far too much to form anything resembling a healthy relationship. Sure, healing is possible, but she doesn't really have enough time to chanfe her personality. After all, she was far too gone when Homura formed her pact for salvation to be possible for her. She'd already become destined to die or become a witch, and since Homura couldn't rewind time further back, she decided to give up on Mami.

You literally cannot point out a single thing that homura did wrong.

Alright, am I stupid if I don't get why anything in this ending happened? Why did Homura want to become the devil? I get that she thought Madoka was unhappy, but I'm not sure what will happen to the Universe now. Homura takes over as "goddess"? Who do they fight now? It makes no sense

>>157547427
They fight nothing, homura takes over and kills all the bad instead.
Everyone gets to live a happy life free of strife and pain.

Homura just wants to hold hands with madoka whenever she wants.

Homura herself pointed out she's probably going to have a confrontation with madoka sooner or later, and it seems she's keeping her distance as well. There's no happy ending for either of them, and there very likely never will, because the Butcher is the Butcher and the Butcher thrives on suffering.

>>157547315
>She hates herself far too much to form anything resembling a healthy relationship.
Mami has healthy relationships with the others in Rebellion and TDS, at least until in TDS Kyoko comes and ruins everything

>>157547577
Madoka will forgive Homura because she's Madoka and everyone will live happily ever after

>>157547315
What Mami needed was someone older than her to be her senpai like she was to the others

Earring Homura does things to my dick

>>157547892
But I thought that it everyone accepted that Madoka is the dom

>>157548103
I think she just needed a friend she didn't have to play the big girl to, someone who she wouldn't have to put up a brave front for, someone she could let her guard down around.

>>157548218
Sounds like what Kyoko's job should have been

>>157548603
I tyhink Mami saw Kyoko as another mentee, and not as someone she could let her guard down around and be open with.

I actually, unironically believe that it is the closest thing to a masterpiece I've seen. I've rewatched it countless times. Over 10 for sure.
The pacing, the music, everything just flows so well that it makes the movie extremely rich.

And it's so full of tiny visual details that I still find something new.

>>157549137
Would you say that it was kino?

>>157549303
Not that guy but the artstyle for the Nightmares/Witch Labyrinths is one of the most pretty things I've seen in an Anime to date.

>>157548776
hence why I said she needed a senpai, because Mami defaults to Mentor Mode around anyone her age or younger

>>157547427
The universe is now Homura's weird dream. People who say it's happy ending for everyone except Homura are absolutely retarded.

>>157549661
It really was though, homura might be in charge but by doing so she's letting everyone else live enjoyable lives.
It might turn around, but she's intending for everyone to be happy.

Does the opening of the serie implies that Madoka will regain her powers and face Homura ?
Because they have such a serious staredown in that scene. Homura looks stonecold meanwhile Madoka is angry but not furious

>>157550006
If there is ever another season or movie, it's basically guaranteed this will happen, but the way the story is currently it leaves it a bit ambiguous

What kind of wish did Walpurgis make that gave her witch the ability to absorb other witches?

>>157550006
It would be fun if they used the scenes of the op (like Disapperance and the first op of Haruhi)

>>157549137
I believe is a 10/10 for a transition piece (and the movie that transitions to it hasn't being release so that's that), the only problem I found in it is QB's 5 minute explanation of the plot, if you miss something you might as well watch it again from the start (I had to watch it twice to get the movie) but this is a common problem on anime movies (not sure if its because of how short anime movies tend to be or how Japanese works)

>>157551102
I thought that their magical girl forms are what's affected by the wish. Could she have been a necromancer before turining into a witch.

>>157551102
Magical girl powers are often obliquely related to their wish, and witch powers tend to be obliquely related to their magical girl forms
So there's probably no direct connection

but Urobuchi is working on the next installment

>>157551647
Soon™, right

>>157551102
My guess is her wish was pretty similar if not exactly the same of Madoka's.
But she was not powerful enough to truly fulfill it, and instead of turning into a godess she turned into a mighty witch capable of absorbing the others to keep them " safe"
Like a law of cycles that went wrong

>>157552454
No, she fell off a cliff.

>>157552475
Madoka will find something to say.

>>157552454
No she doesn't. The post credits mirrors the earlier scene where Homura and Madoka are sitting on chairs in the garden. But in the post credits scene Homura is alone and half of everything is missing; she's leaning over against where Madoka was earlier, but now nothing is there. She then falls off the cliff which mirrors Madoka falling off of the chair (sacrificing herself). You can also tell from their interactions in the school that they don't have the kind of relationship that they did before.

>>157552568
Of course they don't. Homura hates herself so much she'd stay away from Madoka because that should (in Homura's mind) make her happier.

>>157552750
Sounds like Madoka needs to sit Homura down and have a talk

>>157552750
Her smile in the last scene shows that she is happy as long as Madoka is happy even if that means she will only be Madoka's creepy classmate that hugged her in her first day and tell her that one day they will be enemies.
Compared to Madoka, Homura takes the burden of being the LoC way better (or it's equivalent in Homura's barrier)

Was Homura always a lesbian or did Madoka convert her?

>>157554523

uh huh

So what was normal meguca Madoka's magic power? All the others have some kind of power that's separate from their weapon, but Madoka just has the bow and ???

>>157555133
Bow and arrows, duh

>>157554650
Wrong. Madoka's happiness was bringing it to everyone else. Saving others and preserving their smiles is what she wanted. Homura acted out of insanity and drug her from that; purely because she projected her own selfishness onto her. She did it for herself.
>>157554915
What are you talking about? Homura was the only one who held an issue with Madokas decision. The "normal" life you're talking about is a sham and one that Madoka knows is wrong, which is why you see her starting to regain her memories before Homura forces her to forget again. She tries rationalizing it but ultimately she forces madoka against her will into the role she wants her to play.
It's pathetic.

>>157555167
Madoka had that entire thing about how it would be lonely to be the LoC, which Homura interpreted to mean Madoka wasn't happy, ergo ripping her in half and becoming Homucifer. Also the fact that the Incubators were trying to get to the LoC.

>>157555167
You can blabber all you want about "Madoka's sacrifice" but the fact is that when she talks to Homura in Rebellion, she says that she would never do something like that because of how sad it would make her friends and she wouldn't want to leave them and her family. She never wanted to become a god and only did it because the situation became so terrible for everyone involved. Sure, it fulfilled something in her which wanted to help people, but the sacrifice required for it was not something that she wanted. What you saw in Rebellion were her honest feelings about it, and Homura hearing that is what makes her ultimately snap.

>>157555167
When I said Madoka's normal life I meant, seeing her mother, her father, her brother, Sayaka. Mami and (depending on the timeline) Homura
also what this anon said >>157555405

>>157544442
People go on about how Homura is the villain or whatever. But Homura has just stuck to her original game plan all along - save Madoka. Something she failed to do in the series for Madoka had to ultimately sacrifice her entire existence and become a concept for the salvation of all magical girls.

By ursurping her and splitting the 'Madoka' persona off from the Law of Cycles, she has successfully returned Madoka back to her family and daily life.

It may be a false sorta reality where everything is manipulated by Homura, but she probably sees it as an improvement over Madoka being some incorporeal law of nature.

>>157555405
How lonely could it possibly be with all the uncounted magical girls sharing heaven with you?

>>157555760
I don't think Madoka is actually existent there as a person, at least not in the way she was a person when she was a human. She's a concept that has to spend eternity fighting all witches throughout all time in all possible timelines. The series says it's a fate worse than death.

>>157555956
Yeah but she has to be in contact with the girls she saves to SOME extent, otherwise she wouldn't be able to send them on assignments.

>>157556075
Sure, there's some form of contact. But she isn't with them as another human. They never knew her as a human, only Homura remembers that. Her family also never knew her. She'll never have any semblance of a normal life and has to fight for eternity. I think it's better to take the show at its word about how terrible it is.

>>157555633
It's a situation neither side is happy with that leaves no-one satisfied, but thats how all compromises work. And it really is a compromise between Homura's desires and Madokas.

>>157556505
But what happens when Madoka just dies of old age or some shit in Homura's new world? Will she rejoin the LoC or will Homura resurrect her over and over to prevent that?

>>157556505
That's why a "counter-rebellion" could happen.
If Madoka regains his memories, becomes self-aware of the reality in wich Homura has imprisoned her and fights tp free herself.
Sayaka is still here, Nagisa too, if they can help they would

>>157556651
Constantly reincarnating her as a human would make sense given the Buddhist themes of samsara.

Madoka and Homura just need to combine their powers and use them to rewrite the universe again and fix everything (including themselves). Urobutcher will not allow it though.

>>157556940
Or Homura and Madoka could take turns being the LoC, and whoever is taking a break hangs out in heaven

>>157556940
But Urobutcher said that the original script of Rebellion had a happy ending but the director told him to change it.
so that could mean he has a soft spot for MadoHomu or maybe it was only a sick joke and when the fourth/final movie it's released we will know what a depressive ending really is

>>157557236
I suspect the Butcher doing an actual depressing end would cause fans to go visit the suicide forest en-masse.

>>157557349
It will probably be bittersweet, but cathartic like the others. The only thing we know for sure must happen is that Sayaka gets BTFO, that's just a natural law

>>157557389
Sayaka got BTFO in the original series, but Rebellion gave her a waifu and a measure of happiness. I do question why they paired her up with Kyoko though, as I cannot point to a single moment in the series where the two ever actually showed that degree of chemistry for each other, or where some sort of relationship might have sprung from, while in comparison it's dead easy to show where Homura's feelings for Madoka originated and how they developed across the loops.

>>157553677
Is Mami supposed to be a foreigner? Her hair is blonde, she loves baking western desserts, her uniform has a western style, and all her moves are named in Italian

>>157557236
I think Gen has been losing his edge over the years, not everything he writes is a total suffer-fest.

>>157557490
She's supposed to have foreign blood in her, but they've never expanded or offered an explanation as to where her ancestry is from.

>>157557490
I think she's just a chuuni

>>157557469
>I do question why they paired her up with Kyoko though, as I cannot point to a single moment in the series where the two ever actually showed that degree of chemistry for each other, or where some sort of relationship might have sprung from

Yeah, the farthest that the both of them get is just understanding each other and deciding not to fight anymore. The development after that only happens for Kyouko.

>>157557554
Also for how long were her and Kyoko meguca? 2 and 1 years, respectively?

>>157557742
I don't believe it's ever stated definitively

>>157557537
>Miura loses his edge
>Gen loses his edge
Who will carry the torch?

>>157557469
It was a posthumous thing, really. Sayaka only got to see how far Kyouko went for her after she died.

I don't think you'd want to press that, less Gen go so edge that it would make Coldsteel blush.

She didn't get the girl though. She basically gave up on ever getting the girl. Homura will forever be watching Madoka from a distance, never able to get close to her for fear of upsetting her or stirring the goddess within.

If Madokami ever became aware of what Homura did, she would not be happy. Everything is set up for a War of the Gods, Madoka vs Homura.

Probably my favourite part about the ending is the anticipation of Homura's inevitable consequences.
She's a good girl at heart and deserves some gentle, loving perdition.

Reminder.

>>157558431
She might have been a good girl once, but she threw that all away. She accepted damnation as the price to pay, and there is no going back from where she is. Homura will end up in a lake of fire by the end, and what is worse is that she knows that and still did it.

>>157558321
They might fight but Madoka would just forgive Homura at the end of it.

>>157558431
>Madoka

Also, Homura was honestly doing Madoka a favor. Being God sucks balls and Homura was literally the only person in the she universe who cared enough about Madoka to try giving her the happiness that she refused herself

>>157558545
I don't think Homura wants to be forgiven. She's accepted Damnation, all she'll want is punishment. She might even want Madoka to hate her, and that'll make things easier.

>>157558541
Madoka doesn't have a fire and brimstone bone in her body unless you're QB

>>157558545
I don't think it would be an actual fight like with her and Mami. If anything Homura will probably attack Madoka in hopes that Madoka will finish her.

>>157558321
Madoka, separated from the influence of her wish and the memories that provoked it, told Homura directly that she preferred a happy, ordinary life with her friends to self-sacrifice. She became the Law of the Cycles because she had no other choice, not because it was what she wanted.

In the end, Homura got her wish. She redid her first encounter with Madoka like she wanted, and she was the one to save Madoka this time, like she wanted.

Of course you'd say that Satan. Homura is just Lesbian Satan.

And as the series has proven, all Wishes come with a catch. Homura will have to face hers sooner or later. Something will undo hers just like she undid Madokas.

Homura did absolutely nothing wrong.
She is the best girl in the series as well.
Homura is very nice and she is a very good friend with other magic girls, especially Madoka.
Please do not upset Homura with your heresy.

She already said she did and said they'd be friends no matter what. Did you already forget?

Did Madoka sleep with all the Magical girls she saved? Her love is for all of them. I doubt Madokami could ever feel romantic love for any one person.

>>157553852

I too hope your daughters don't become so attached to another human being they rewrite the laws of the universe and repeat history hundreds of times.

>>157558596
I can't believe anybody could sit through the entire tv series and movie and still not realize Madoka is a dom. She's the epitome of a 'mother hen' character babying her peergroup. When her silent dominance is challenged, she privately angsts, singles out individuals to challenge them mentally, and searches for a solution systematically until she finds a way to assert herself and deny whatever challenged her authority. Madoka literally became God and rewrote the universe to protect 4 friends from a shady fursona. There's no point in the series where Madoka ever frames the exigence as anything other than "Do I control this? No, I have no control over this; this is bad. I must find a way to control this." Asserting dominance is her entire character.

Her principle female role model whipped some guy into a house-husband, and you can bet your ass Homura is twice the sub that poor joe ever was. They'll probably be exchanging strapon notes once Madoka is old enough to get "the talk" about safewords and safety knots.

What I'm confused about is how Homura was able to suck up god powers from Madoka like she'd been sucking powers from gods her entire life and what's stopping literally any other magical girl from doing the same? Wouldn't this make Madoka not very powerful at all?

>>157546511
>that she'll be erased from existence

How did she enter Homura's universe in the beginning? And I'm confused as to how the universe was created in the first place and how Homura would forget.

>>157559081
Madoka's mum mentioned in the PSP game that she was just like Homura at her age and Madoka said her ideal boyfriend was someone like her mother. So Homura is sort of freudian for Madoka.

>>157559081
It's pretty obvious when you pay attention to the story. The first timeline is their true selves and Homura is timid and shy while Madoka isn't at all and is more of a leader and the number one thing Homura hates about herself is how weak she is and she says this multiple times.

>>157559081
>once Madoka is old enough to get "the talk" about safewords and safety knots.

About that...

The entire Homura tough girl thing is just an act and the anime never tried to even hide it.

>>157559199
Why did she keep her Goddess form at the same age as her human form when she ascended?? She could have added a few years on to herself. Goddesses can change their forms to suit themselves.

>>157559085
Plot hole.

>>157551555
>20 year old madoka in a sharp-looking suit and ponytail
hot DAMN

>>157559085
For the same reason she was able to witness Madoka rewrite the universe and retain all her memories. She has a unique connection to Madoka that no one else does.

>>157559085
Because Homura had reached something completely new in that her soul gem got corrupted by love instead of despair, as well as being the only magical girl that became a witch without having her soul gem shatter.

>>157559085
I was under the impression that it was because of her soul gem being filled with love rather than curses, so instead of turning into a witch she turned into a "demon" when it filled up, and that's where her powers came from, and she was able to put everything into a "demon" barrier. I didn't think she took any of Madoka's powers away. Maybe I'm wrong, though.

>>157559085
Homura got the same powerlevel boost from timetraveling like Madoka and Walpurgisnacht did, that's why her witch at the end of Rebellion was so strong

It's literally just a form. Just because she's a goddess doesn't make her any older right away. She literally just barely became one at that point so she's still very young no matter what form she chooses to take although she does look a bit older.

>>157559085
>namefag didn't even watch the movie
How surprising. Pay attention to the spool of pink thread that appears repeatedly throughout the film.

>>157559277
It would be kind of weird to age herself up when she never actually reached a higher age normally

>>157559245
They hide it until episode 9 where Homura cries and tells Madoka to stop calling herself useless
Episode 10 to 12 (especially episode 10) reinforces all of that

QUESTION: If it was Homura's plan to suck up Madoka's magic godness power in the end, was it also her plan to get trapped in the Incubator isolation thing and then have to rediscover it herself? How does that make any sense?

>>157559081

So basically it's magic and we shouldn't question it.

>>157559482
Maybe I need to watch it again but I don't think her soul gem was filled with love I think she literally just grabbed Madoka and sucked her powers up.

>>157559489
This might be true but I don't think anybody has confirmed this ever and if that was the case Homura should have gotten more and more powerful every time she time traveled back just like Madoka did.

>>157559606
getting caught wasn't a part of her master plan, and she didn't think about stealing Madoka until after the Kyubeys fucked everything up

>>157559587
There are some subtle signs earlier, like Homura grimacing in pain while walking with Madoka in the hallway and when she leaves when Mami shows up in episode 1, and in episode 4 (iirc) when Madoka says she won't forget her.

>>157559622
she just looks before she leaps. one she knows what to do, she acts immediately.

It's easy to just say whatever you want so why don't you explain what you're talking about and how exactly that answers my question instead of giving me a riddle to solve and thinking you accomplished anything when in all reality what you're saying probably means nothing. Obviously nobody else knows because I had three people just reply to the same post with completely different answers so why don't you just inform everyone with your superior knowledge?

>>157559632
>Maybe I need to watch it again but I don't think her soul gem was filled with love I think she literally just grabbed Madoka and sucked her powers up.

When Homura grabs Madoka at the end, Sayaka or Nagisa (can't remember which) says that her soul gem is a color darker than a curse and they don't know what emotion it represents. Homura says they wouldn't understand because it's one she feels for Madoka alone; she later tells Kyubey that it was love, because everything she did was for Madoka, and so the pain she went through became dear to her rather than becoming a curse, etc.

>>157559632
>Homura should have gotten more and more powerful
She didn't
Her wish did.
The wish is the thing that's powered by karma. Madoka became a Goddess because she wished to BE the one who stopped every witch. Her wish was powerful enough to change the universe because of the looping accumulation of karma Homura caused. Madoka was at the center of that loop, but Homura was as well.

Homura's wish was to redo her first encounter with Madoka and reverse their roles, so that she would be the one to protect Madoka. Her wish went unfulfilled time and time again as each loop failed. Being tied to Madoka by the same karma is what allowed Homura to retain her memories after Madoka's wish changed the universe, because Homura's wish, which drew from the same thread that fueled Madoka's, was still unfulfilled.

You can consider the events of Rebellion something of an inevitability. Homura's wish was always powerful enough to bend the rules of the universe, and with power equal to Madoka's, would inevitably lead them to encounter one another in their 'first meeting' eventually. When that happened, of course Homura found that her wish contained the power needed to 'protect' Madoka. The only thing Madoka needed protection from at that point was her own wish.

That's also why the turning point in the movie was Homura's one-on-one conversation with Madoka, where she confirmed, in her own way, that being the LotC wasn't really what Madoka wanted. She can't exactly protect Madoka if there's nothing to protect her from, so she could have simply accepted Madoka's wish and passed on with grace. Upon confirming what was, to her, a reason to protect Madoka, she found a purpose to her wish again.

>>157559606
It wasn't her plan to suck up Madoka's power (or at least is never hinted/or I missed it), that's why that plot twist hurts so deep, she saw an opportunity (that wouldn't be possibly without her love for Madoka turning into magical power) and took it, an opportunity to save Madoka and make sure they are never separated again (if she was taken by the LoC they would've been together but Madoka would still be separated from all the people she loves that are not magical girls)

>>157559694
You are right, I forgot completely about that

>>157559776

I literally just watched this earlier, and she explicitly says no, it isn't, it's a wonderful chance and she is happy and will come for homura when its her time.

I think the series will end with a twist: everything will be fixed and all of the megucas will get normal lives again. Madoka will finally work up the courage to confess her feelings to Homura, but Homura is actually straight only thought of Madoka as her best friend the entire time.

>>157561075
That plot twist would make zero sense given what happened in Rebellion. If anything the reverse will happen.

But what Homura did was objectively worse than QB's. QB's goals and values are alien to a species with emotions, but they are still both comprehensible and ulitimately intended to save others. Homura actively either damned all magical girls, erased most of them and only damned her most dear friends, or trapped all the others in heaven and damned her friends, while destroying the LoC solution Madoka created and reestablishing the old way.

Homura is guilty of every sin QB is, but also of sins only an emotional creature could commit, including selfish destruction of others. She is also the purest opposite of Madoka, the despair to her hope.

Fire and Brimstone are all there is for her.

Why was she able to kill Walmart in one hit before she became a god? I think it was the second to last timeline.

>>157561190
There is no friendship so deep you would literally make yourself Satan to preserve it. Homura straight up said it was love that turned her evil. And I don't even give a shit about the sexualties of the Megucas and am pretty sure they've never going to actually come out and say that any of them are gay or not.

>>157561228
Madoka became more powerful in each timeline as more karmic importance accrued to her due to Homura turning time back over and over.

>>157561289
Exactly so the same thing should have happened with Homura. Considering all the time traveling she did she should have been massively powerful.

>>157561321
Yeah, I don't agree with that anon about Homura getting more powerful. Her wish was eventually fulfilled, sure, but I think it has to do with her soul gem being special (being filled with love) rather than her karmic importance. Her powers don't ever seem to increase that way over the various timelines.

>>157561518
Eh, the purpose of each timeline reset was Madoka, not Homura. Homura was the cause but not the object of the action. I don't think it's that bad.

>>157561509
you're no regular madoka threads huh
that could never stop him

>>157561467
If you wanted to examine a non-yuri angle for Homura, you could go back to Kyubey's explanation near the end of the show; Homura turning time back over and over caused saving Madoka to become the reason for her existence, to the extent that if she gave up on it her soul gem would go dark. She was consumed by her wish, basically.

>>157561586
So who is this mysterious blight on madoka threads?

>>157561706
Shh... don't summon him.

>>157561692
And that's why Homura became yandere, because she conditioned herself to love Madoka over that decade of time looping in order to not witch out, and as a result she was still yandere when it came to the movie and she had no life threatening reason to continue being a dyke for Madoka.

>>157561586
was He Who Must Not Be Named finally committed?

>>157561706
come back literally any other day and you'll know
for now let us enjoy a clear madoka thread for once

>>157561814
I kind of like the idea of Homura as a Yandere lesbian though.

>>157561814
I don't think she became yandere until she talked to Madoka in Rebellion and realized she'd failed at protecting her. I think that's when she snapped. At the end of the show it seems like she was able to accept things.

>>157561545
That's still a huge destiny she had. Without Homura Madoka would just be dead in a puddle same as any other magical girl.

>>157562076
There was the implication that she had already been thinking about soul raping Madoka from the start of the movie (chronologically) though. Near the end where they're breaking out and Homura's memories are being restored, Madoka gives her some words of encouragement and Homura says "I won't hesitate anymore", referring to the fact that she was already thinking about becoming devilhomu and her time/conversations with Madoka sealed the deal.

>>157562076
a sane person wouldn't loop that many times to start with

>>157562148
We never saw much of her life fighting the Wraiths, and it seems that Rebellion begins after all the despair of her fight against them has finally overcome her defenses and she's on the cusp of her fall/ascension. So she may well have been in a bad state of mind even before she encountered Madoka again in her Witches Labyrinth.

>>157562148
>I'd commit the worst sins for one more chance
>even if it turned me into a monster

I think that pretty much sealed the deal alone.

>>157562148
>There was the implication that she had already been thinking about soul raping Madoka from the start of the movie

Well she already saw her like 10 seconds prior to that scene.

Also watch the part leading up to Homura+Madoka shooting the magic bow together to bust out.

>and if I had to go so far as to betray that wish
>yes, I knew I could shoulder any sin
>no matter what I became, I knew I'd be fine with it
>as long as I could have you by my side
It also ends on pic related, which is quite ominous in hindsight.

I'd say it's strongly implied Homura wanted to split Madoka prior to getting sealed+amnesia, and her talks with Madoka ended up reinforcing her resolve because Madoka basically told her she didn't really want to wish to become Madokami when they were talking at the flower field.

>>157563449
What I find interesting is that she says
>as long as I could have you by my side
And yet she doesn't get that. In fact she drives everyone away by her actions. There might get to be a Madoka/Mami/Sakaya/Kyoko group that will pop up, but Homura will never be a part of it. She'll always be on the outside, the master of her fate and the architect of her own misery.

>>157563935
Well she's basically god of her own barrier universe so I assume she can do things like spy on Madoka peeing. Also you'd assume they still see each other at school.

That's cool fanfiction and all but we're talking about the actual movie here.

>>157564055
And the movie ends before we can even see how it plays out so by your logic everything is fan fiction.

>>157564055
When it comes to fanfiction, I've noticed a lot of fan-ideas and theories ended up migrating into the series proper. Fans were shipping Sakaya and Kyoko well before they decided to tease them in Rebellion. The same with Mami and the Witch who killed her, which again became almost canon in Rebellion. I don't know if I'm reading too much into this, but it seems toe more something is pushed by the fans, the more likely it is to come true. At this rate I fully expect an explicit yuri end, because all the fans here and in Japan seem to have latched onto that like limpets.

>>157564106
there's theories about rebellion that the first half, with its blatant fanservice, did this intentionally (putting the audience in homura's dream world) to later blow it up

>>157561142
We are so badass people confuse us to be the same person. It's not our fault we are too cool.

>>157564148
Most of it happened more in the later parts. That scene with Sakaya and Kyoko on the spire where they held hands was not part of Homura's dreams as far as I can tell. It seems to be legitimate.

>>157564148
>>157564204
The relationships from Rebellion are real. Mami and Kyouko just don't have their memories in the first part, but they start getting them back later. Sayaka and Kyouko have their moment in the context of Kyouko remembering Sayaka died, etc. Even after Homura rewrites everything and wipes their memories, at the end you see Sayaka and Kyouko together and Mami and Nagisa becoming friends again.

Homura did nothing wrong.

>>157564664
mami does not deserve those puns.

>>157544608

It's implied that Sayaka and Bebe still existed after they died like there was some kind of Madoka heaven for magical girls, and if Homura had gone with Madokami they probably would have been able to exist together forever. Plus, if Homura had gone with Madoka, the Kyuubey's wouldn't have had anyone that existed with memories of Madoka left in the world, and so they probably never would have been able to even reach her again, never mind interfering with her.

Now Homura is left with only a small window of time to indulge in delusions of normalcy with Madoka until she inevitably regains her memories and seemingly by connection, her powers. Then Homura is stuck with a Madokami that knows Homura interrupted the duty that she took full responsibility for and gave up her life to uphold, to watch over all magical girls.

>>157564880
Homura quite literally bought herself only a few months, maybe a year at most, and she won't even get to actually spend any time with Madoka, just watch her from a distance and wait for the moment that she wakes up and everything turns to shit. Still, Homura chose it, I guess that's the ending she wanted.

>>157556651

It won't even come to that, Madoka almost remembered everything and regained her powers a few scant minutes into the new universe, I doubt it'd be more than a few months before she remembers everything fully, then Homura's whole "save madoka" plot will be revealed as what it truly is, just a selfish act by Homura so she can wallow in delusions while no one, not even her, is really happy with the situation.

>>157564936

Pretty much, Madoka almost remembered everything during the first day, I can't imagine this fake world will last very long until she gains back her memories and ((maybe?)) her powers and then has to deal with Homura and what she's done, then no one will be happy.

Good job Homura, you fucked everything up.

>>157564880
At the end of the show, Madoka says she is omniscient and knows the past and future of every possible universe, meaning that she knows what Homura is going to do and how it will turn out ultimately, and she isn't mad about it. So it's okay.

>>157565022

If she knew what Homura was planning to do (( and, by the look on her face, is surprised at NOT happy about it )) why didn't she stop her? Or try to talk to her about it when she regained her god powers? Homura could literally be some kind of god anomaly that even Madokami couldn't predict.

>>157565069
Maybe it ultimately leads to a better situation for everyone and Madoka needed to let it happen so everything could play out.

>>157565001
The thing is that while yes, Homura fucked up, it's not like we can't see where she came from and even empathize. All those people who call Homura a total bitch for what she did obviously never actually watched it, because Homura was never in a good head-state to begin with, and shit eventually piled up to the point where she went mad and did what she thought was the right thing, even though with the benefit of hindsight we can see where she went wrong.

>>157565128

Sure I can empathize, but that doesn't mean I can't also think she's retarded for doing what she did, even after Madokami told Homura she was genuinely okay with basically existing as a concept if it meant she herself could save every magical girl ever.

So, I'm about to start the Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica Portable PSP game (because after the Series and the Movies and the Manga, that's the next step to take). Anyone here played it? Anyone know what the fuck I'm getting into?

>>157565177
>Madokami told Homura she was genuinely okay with basically existing as a concept if it meant she herself could save every magical girl ever
Based on Madoka's personality and previous actions you could make an argument either way on whether she lied or not. Homura can't trust that.

>>157565249
Homura can't trust anyone. She can't even trust Madoka. She's been hollowed out to the point where the only trust she has in with herself.

Should TDS be made into an anime?

>>157565903
No. It's good, but it doesn't progress the story further. I'd rather they wrap up the whole thing first.

>>157565903
No, honestly. There'd be even more heated debates on it;s canon to the story and a plague of shitposts from a certain group.

Instead animate something more important like Memories of you.

i stopped watching this because i got way too creeped out

>>157566034
Yeah, Kyuubey's face is the stuff of nightmares.

>>157566034
creeped out? By what? That's the weirdest complaint I've seen laid at Madoka's door.

>>157565968
Haven't read that one. Is it good?

>>157566066
the battles or something, the weird crap that comes out whenever they fight

>>157566097
It's a more detailed look at the first timeline and how Ho-moe-ura first met and befriended Madoka.

>>157566097
Memories of you is the first drama CD. Centers around the first timeline.

Rebellion was literally a masterpiece, but the gay part with Sayaka and Kyoko is really conflicting with my Christian beliefs

>>157566186
Do what the Pope said to do, and don't judge them, just let them be and wish them well.

Also those two are really cute together for some reason.

>>157566186
I agree but unironacally. Sayaka and Kyouko suddenly being gay for eachother felt kind of hamfisted. They should have been more subtle on that part.

>>157566186
They'll burn in hell eventually, brother.

>>157566186
Madoka and Homura had more gay moments. But I guess they pale in comparison to Kyouko and Sayaka's on-screen lewd hand-holding.

>>157566246
>subtle
The interlock fingers was perfect subtext.

>>157566247
Rude

>>157565968
I'd like both

>>157566114
I think that was a highlight, the use of experimental animation to make the battle scenes really surreal and spooky.

>>157567569
So Pulley Magi Meduca Meguca by Jin Eurobishi?

>>157566212
>Do what the Pope said to do
No one should care what that traitor says.

>>157567612
You're the traitor for not respecting the wishes of the only sane man in the vatican.

>>157567637
I am not a traitor for not listening to a progressive charlatan who's only trying to make Catholicism seem "hip" and "modern" for other people's opinions and tastes.

Wow this thread has no autism posting like Madoka threads usually have.

>>157567856
We've still got 200 posts to go. Autism could easily rise then. I hope not, after suffering through fuck knows how many bad threads, the Madoka ones have been an oasis of actual discussion and decency that has almost restored my faith in /a/.

Doesn't Madoka take place in the future?

>>157568434
It took place in 2011, the same year it screened.

>>157568484
Do you have a source on that? Some of the architecture and technology would seem to contradict that.

>>157568500
Take or leave it as you will, but this is what I've been using.

>selfishness
End this meme. The selfish course of action for Homura would be going with Madoka to heaven. Spending eternity together is what she craves more than literally anything. Denying her own happiness to give Madoka happiness is the opposite of selfishness.

>>157568588
It's a case of selfish selflessness, if that means anything. Being selfish as far as Homura turning herself into a devil and undoing everything Madoka herself achieved, but selfless in that she knew she'd lose everything she wanted and never get to be with Madoka or any of her other friends again.

>>157567675
Francis follows Jesus' message as laid out in the NT more strictly than any pope in recent memory, you dumb faggot. News flash: the core of His message was forgiveness, the shedding of wordy possessions, and charity to the poor. If you get asshurt that mudslimes in the ME and nigs get counted as a part of the "poor" (even though they're poor as fuck) because they aren't a part of the faith, then you are a Fake Christian, because Jesus himself NEVER drew a line that said "only help fellow Christians," in fact that sort of attitude was one often professed by the pharisees and was one Jesus came to earth specifically to correct. If you're asshurt that Francis keeps talking about how moneyed interests are the devil, you are a Fake Christian, since this point is one of Jesus' most consistent messages throughout the entire NT -- you can either serve God or mammon, not both. If you're asshurt that Francis said to stop bullying the fags, you know nothing about Catholic catechism, since the "do not judge the sinner, and treat them with love as you try to guide them" has been on the books for decades. Francis just said it in public. In fact, virtually EVERYTHING that Francis has ever said was already well-established doctrine, his gimmick is just saying it in press conferences.

TLDR: /pol/ Christianity is Fake Christianity, and the time when you are chased out of the Temple with all the other false worshipers (the one time Jesus got mad) is soon. I cannot wait.

>>157568829
I completely agree, but would also just like to ask that we try and keep these sort of debates out of Madoka threads. I want to enjoy discussing this series without any drama like this. We have it bad enough with the shitposters.

>>157568015
That was a legit usage, though

Seems to me that all the problems and confusing moments of Rebellion were a result of the fact that the story was originally meant to be a season but was shortened into a movie. Everything could have been explained and expanded and properly set up if they had more time.

>>157569108
Will they ever get the chance to make another season, or will it be movies the rest of the way?

>>157569191
I can't imagine they do another season. It would almost certainly be another movie

How well would Guts, the Black Swordsman, do when fighting witches?

>>157569108
The only thing that needed explaining was what the consequences of the ending are. Sayaka implies Homura did something bad from an objective standpoint but all we know is she made the universe her own personal heaven.

>>157569639
Sayaka is just butthurt that she got BTFO by Homura. A recap of how things stand in Homura's new world:
>the LoC still functions, just without Madoka to give it "personality"
>thus, magical girl salvation still exists
>Kyuubeys are forced to shoulder the burden of the world's despair, no more need for magical girls to fight
>all of Madoka's friends are given Good Ends
>Madoka is given a Good End
Everything Homura has done so far has been pretty benign, unless you're Kyuubey in which case fuck you. If there are negative consequences of Homura's actions, they haven't shown them yet.

>>157569844
I like to imagine that Homura fucks with the other girls everyday like breaking the tea pot in front of Mami or wasting Kyoko's apple. That would be a pretty bad life for everyone indeed if you went with that.

>>157570010
Homura has this thing that now that she's satan she needs everyone to hate her. So she's happy to have Sayaka against her, and straight up tells Madoka they'll be enemies one day. She's pre-emptively driving everyone away.

When you guys say "Homura did nothing wrong," how much of that is memes and how much of it do you actually believe?

>>157570098
I think it's mostly memes and shipperfags. Homura did do something wrong and even she knows it.

>>157570098
100% Meme

Homura broke a perfectly functional system that Madoka had set up for no good reason just because she was lonely or some shit. Now Homura has to be Satan because of this

>>157570141
Wow you understand nothing

>>157570098
0% Meme

Homura learned that Madoka didn't want to be a god and did the only thing she could do in order to save her. Now Homura perceives herself as Satan because she failed Madoka and had to act against Madoka's wish

What did she mean by this?

>>157570323
You know, that's practically what happened in episode 1 of the actual series. It's a constant recurrence.

>>157570323
Don't forget Homura taking off the red ribbon and tying it in Madoka's hair, then starting to cry and saying it looks better on Madoka.

>>157570323
What chance does Homura have of ever actually winning Madoka's heart at this rate?

>>157570418
just re-write the universe yet again to make shit work, it's clearly not a big deal as that would be the 3rd time it's happened

>>157570418
Homura doesn't want to win Madoka's heart, she wants he to be happy
